Meet the Exeter woman who appears in a fashion book with a difference - there's not a super model in sight!

Meet the Exeter fashion follower who has been included in an inspirational new book, celebrating the style secrets of real women.

Catherine Summers and 24 others have been featured in Gray & Osbourn’s Style Book, to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary.

The 41-year-old beat hundreds of other women from across the UK to be included in the book. Her top piece of advice was ‘Always check your outfit in a full length mirror’. As part of pulling the book together, Catherine took part in a day long fashion shoot in a London hotel last month.

Fiona Holmes, managing director of Gray & Osbourn, said: “Rather than telling women what they should be wearing this season, we thought we’d give real women the opportunity to share their style secrets.”

The book will have a limited edition print run but will be available as an interactive PDF on the Gray & Osbourn website at www.grayandosbourn.co.uk/thestylebook, from 18th June.

“Creating The Style Book was fabulous, it was great to meet up with and talk to so many like-minded ladies, all with their own beauty secrets to share. It’s an experience I will never forget; a thoroughly enjoyable day all round!” said Catherine.

Fiona Holmes added: “The Style Book is more than a celebration for Gray & Osbourn’s 25th anniversary – it’s a celebration of the style and beauty of a generation of women in the UK who say they often feel invisible. All the women involved have been an inspiration to us and hope that they will be to everyone who reads the book.”
